This year’s democratic presidential primaries has more people involved in the process of selecting their candidate than in many years past. Just last week, in Mississippi, democratic voter turnout was 400k+, three times what experts forecast. The most in 20 years. The Hillary Clinton/Barack Obama dynamic is the cause of all the attention.

Though you can’t escape news of what’s going on, believe it or not, some people haven’t even heard of Barack Obama. Some people, would be DMX.

12 starving and dehydrated dogs were taken from DMX’s home in Cave Creek, Arizona on Friday. Maricopa County police were alerted to the dog’s conditions through anonymous phone calls made two weeks ago. Waving a search warrant deputies found the malnourished dogs and the buried bodies of three others.

It wasn’t clear how they died, an investigation is underway to determine if there was *drum roll* dog fighting involved. Capt. Paul Chagolla of the Maricopa County said, “We’re doing an investigation. There’s a lot of work to be done here.”
